Pajiba has done the very scientific work and crunched the numbers to determine that HBO Max is, in fact, the biggest asshole in terms of canceling shows. Netflix was up there — I’m still angry about Archive 81 — but in the end, HBO Max pulled it off.
Harry & Meghan has officially become Netflix’s most-watched documentary. THEY’RE IN YOUR HEADS, U.K.

Yooooo, Definitely need to clarify this. THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT TO SAY. Was trying to say “those Bug-A-Boos” in reference to haters and doubters.
